I agree, and even though I have done some herding, I didn't vote for the Herding, Tracking Agility or Obedience (not active, nor following the judges) Classes. Although I am not participating ACTIVELY in conformation right now, I did vote for the conformation judges (can't remember one or two, not 3). I think the word is :actively: If we follow the conformation dogs, follow the judging, are active in that way, I DO feel we are right to vote. IMO (whose else's??)
